Neuro ICU Specialities – What to Expect?

The Role of a Neuro ICU in Brain Care

At Yashprabha Neuro Hospital, our state-of-the-art Neuro ICU operates 24/7, ensuring that every critical patient receives timely interventions, emergency neurosurgical procedures, and expert care from a multidisciplinary team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, and critical care specialists.

Who Needs Neuro ICU Care?

Patients admitted to a Neuro ICU require intensive neurological observation and specialized interventions. Here are the key conditions that demand round-the-clock neurocritical care:

1. Severe Stroke Patients

Patients suffering from an ischemic stroke (caused by blood clots) or a hemorrhagic stroke (caused by brain bleeding) require urgent medical attention. In our Neuro ICU, we:

• Administer clot-dissolving medications (thrombolysis therapy) within the golden window of 3-4 hours.

• Perform emergency neurosurgical procedures if needed.

• Continuously monitor brain function and vital signs to prevent further complications.

 2. Brain Hemorrhage Cases

Patients with a brain hemorrhage (intracranial bleeding) are at high risk of brain swelling, unconsciousness, and life-threatening complications. In our Neuro ICU, we:

• Use advanced brain imaging (CT, MRI) to monitor internal bleeding

• Administer anti-swelling medications to reduce pressure inside the skull.

• Provide emergency neurosurgical interventions if necessary.

3. Post-Surgical Neurosurgery Patients

Patients who undergo brain tumor surgery, vascular neurosurgery, or head trauma procedures need constant neurological observation. In our Neuro ICU, we:

• Monitor brain activity using EEG (electroencephalogram).

• Ensure proper oxygen supply to prevent further brain damage.

• Manage post-surgical pain and swelling with specialized medications.

Life-Saving Equipment & Treatments in a Neuro ICU

Here’s what happens inside:

1. Continuous Brain Activity Monitoring

Patients in the Neuro ICU undergo real-time brain monitoring using:

• EEG (electroencephalogram) – Tracks brain waves for seizure detection.

• CT & MRI scans – Provide detailed images of the brain’s condition.

• Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Monitoring – Detects swelling inside the skull.

2. Specialized Medications & Neurointervention

Patients in the Neuro ICU require specialized drugs to prevent further complications such as:

• Anti-seizure medications (h4) – To prevent epileptic attacks after a head injury.

• Blood thinners & clot-busting drugs (h4) – To manage stroke patients and prevent further blood clots.

• Brain swelling reduction therapy (h4) – Including hypertonic saline or mannitol to reduce intracranial pressure.

3. Ventilation & Oxygen Support

Many Neuro ICU patients lose the ability to breathe properly due to stroke or brain trauma. In our ICU, we provide:

•  Mechanical ventilation (h4) – To assist with breathing for critically ill patients.

•  Oxygen therapy  (h4)– To prevent brain hypoxia (oxygen deprivation).

•  Airway management & suctioning (h4) – To clear blocked airways and avoid complications.

How a Well-Equipped Neuro ICU Improves Survival & Recovery Rates

•  50% Higher Survival Rates – Faster intervention reduces brain damage.

• Lower Risk of Stroke-Related Disabilities – Early thrombolysis treatment restores brain function.

•  Better Recovery After Brain Surgery – Continuous monitoring ensures optimal healing after neurosurgical procedures.

•  Effective Management of Traumatic Brain Injuries – Reduces the risk of seizures, memory loss, and motor impairments.
